[Qyvea Limited](https://qyvea.co.ke/) installs fire alarm systems for schools across Kenya — day schools, boarding schools, mixed and single-sex schools, international academies, TVETs, colleges and university campuses. Systems are designed around how a school actually operates: where students sleep, where they eat, where they gather, where experiments happen, and how they would evacuate during the day versus at night. Detection and alerting are matched to each of those realities, not to a generic template. Coverage ## What school fire alarms cover ### Dormitories Smoke detection in sleeping areas with sounders loud enough to wake students at night. ### Classrooms & corridors Smoke detection across teaching blocks and escape routes, with call points at exits. ### Kitchens & dining Heat detection in cooking areas to avoid false alarms, with alerting in dining halls. ### Science labs Detection suited to chemicals and equipment present, with local isolation where procedures require it. ### Assembly halls Coverage across large-volume spaces where smoke can stratify and standard detectors miss it. ### Admin & ICT blocks Detection in offices, records rooms and server areas, integrated with [BMS](https://qyvea.co.ke/bms) where present.

FAQ ## Common questions from schools What fire alarm system does a school in Kenya need? Schools need detection across classrooms, corridors, dormitories, kitchens, science labs, assembly halls and admin blocks, with manual call points at every exit and sounders that are clearly audible in every occupied space. Boarding schools also need night-time audibility verified in dormitories. Qyvea designs the system after a free site visit so it fits the campus layout and occupancy. Are fire alarms required in Kenyan schools? Fire safety expectations for Kenyan schools are set by the Ministry of Education, county fire authorities and occupational safety regulations. In practice, schools with dormitories, kitchens, laboratories and large assembly areas are expected to have functioning fire detection and alarm systems. Qyvea installs systems to meet these expectations and provides documentation for inspections. How do you prevent false alarms in school kitchens and labs? Kitchens use heat detection rather than smoke detection so cooking does not trigger alarms. Laboratories use detection suited to the chemicals and equipment present, with local isolation where procedures require it. This keeps the system trusted by staff and students, which matters more than anything else in a school environment. Can school fire alarms be integrated with CCTV and access control? Yes. Qyvea integrates fire alarm panels with [CCTV](https://qyvea.co.ke/cctv) for incident review and with [access control](https://qyvea.co.ke/biometrics) so gates and doors release automatically on alarm — critical for dormitory evacuation at night. Do you install outside Nairobi? Yes. Qyvea is a Nairobi-based, delivery-only supplier, and installs across Kenya including Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika, Ruiru and Kiambu. ## Book a school fire alarm survey Free campus walk-through and itemised quote.
